Reason’s to love artificial faux flowers & plants.

July 23, 2016

When my Father-in-law came to visit last week he was amazed at how many plants I have and how I mange to keep on top of looking after them all! Well let me fill you in on a little secret… They are not all real!! My top tip is to mix real plants and flowers with faux ones and no one will ever know!

For some people artificial flowers still carry an ongoing stigma but let me assure you, both faux flowers & plants have come along way from the dusty polyester that your great grandma used to own!

Don’t get me wrong, I still love to buy real flowers and always have a vase of fresh blooms in my kitchen & dining room.

I absolutely love having plants and flowers around my house, makes it come alive. They look great grouped together and if you’re clever and mix real with faux no one will ever know! Cacti, succulents, figs, ferns, eucalyptus, peonies, hydrangeas, cherry blossom, agave are all the different faux’s that I have around my house.

As you can see in my images above, Country Baskets is one of my favourites for picking up good quality faux flowers at great prices. Below are just some of the artificial plants which are currently at the top of my never ending wish list!! They are not cheap but when you think how long they will last and how much you will save on real plants that you’ve killed by over watering you’re getting a bargain really!!

So what do you think to fake flowers and plants? Fabulous or faux pas?? You know my thoughts and the fact that my style guru Abigail Ahern has recently teamed up with heal’s to bring London’s first entirely “faux florist” to the heart of the West End, means I’m pretty sure I’m in good company!!

Great little read , I’m after the AA string of pearls , I have two baby ones that can’t grow quick enough for my liking.Will defo check out Country Baskets , I have a couple of lovely ferns from RSG after killing about three real ones lol

I’ve had a Country Baskets membership card for some years now and I stocked up on the white faux hydrangeas when I moved in to my current house – as a person who is fully aware of her ineptitude with real plants, they were a godsend and do add a finishing touch to a room. And the faux stuff has come such a long way too in terms of quality – I mix the real with the faux too – helps the family budget which the hubs is very pleased about!

I was very pleased to search out this web-site.I needed to thanks in your time for this excellent learn!! I positively enjoying each little little bit of it and I’ve you bookmarked to check out new stuff you weblog post.
